Welcome to the GTA:IV Multiplayer F.A.Q. Have a question about multiplayer modes, ranks, etc? They will be most likely be answered here.Warning. The following may contain spoilers. Continue at your own risk.

To access multiplayer, press 'up' on the analog pad to access the phone. Then scroll down to multiplayer. Then choose the game mode you want. (Game modes will be discussed further on in the F.A.Q.) You can then either choose from ranked matches or player matches.

Team DeathmatchPlayers work together, killing the other team gaining money. The team with the most money at the end of the game wins.Supports 2-8 teams.

Team Mafia WorkWork as a team to complete tasks such as, stealing cars, escorting wanted men, and more. Each task completed by your team gains money. The team with the most money at the end of the game wins.Supports 2-8 teams.

Team Car Jack CityCars are parked around the selected game area and the teams must steal them and take them to a drop-off point. The amount of cash you get depends on the condition of the car, unless the car is filled with drugs. The team with the most cash at the end of the game wins.Supports 2-8 teams.

Cops N' CrooksThe Crooks Team must get their boss to the drop-off point while the Cops must kill the boss. Teams win if either the boss is killed or the boss gets to the drop-off point. This consists of 2 sub-modes.

All-for-One.

One-for-All

In All-for-One there are 2 teams, Crooks and a Boss and the other is Cops. The Cops must kill the boss while the Crooks must get him to safety. In One-for-All there are the same 2 teams but no boss. The Cops must kill all the Crooks and the Crooks must get to a getaway vehicle. Only 4 people can fit in the getaway vehicle. There is no respawning in this mode.Supports 2 teams.

Turf WarA capture the flag type mode, similar to the Domination mode from Call of Duty 4. Two teams must capture the bases by standing near them. The more teammates standing near the base, the faster it gets captured. The more bases your team has captured, the more cash your team gets. The team with the most cash at the end wins.Supports 2 teams.

RaceRace to the finish by going through the checkpoints in order. What vehicles you use are determined by the host, as is the race track. There are two sub-modes, Free Race and Cannonball Run.Free Race is a point to point race. Cannonball Run is a race where you must go through the checkpoints to win.Supports 2-16 players.

In story mode access the phone, go to multiplayer and scroll down to 'Player Model'. Then customize as you wish. You can also customize your character in the game lobby, by hitting triangle (PS3) or Y (xbox).

When you select 'multiplayer' on the phone, click 'party mode'. Then it should load you on the map. Then invite the people you want in your game. Now all you have to do is go to phone and hit ranked, then the game mode you want.

Very nice FAQ! Can't believe I didn't think of this myself xDThis should help a lot of people =]

I was going to suggest to add more "in-depth" info for some modes, but I guess that isn't necessary, unless you get people who can't follow simple directions and objectives in the game. (for example in Deal Breaker where there's guys getting away on a boat and you have to get on the water yourself and chase them down)

Can I link to this in my sig with your name in it?

Sure As for the other questions, I will add them when I get home today.Edit: I have updated the FAQ with,• More stuff about what you cannot do In free mode.• What the highest/lowest rank is.

What I hope to get added, • Police maverick location• Amount of money to rank up

Why is it that everyone I see seems to have an option to play Ranked or Unranked, but when I try to enter multiplayer (through either Party Mode or just straight from single player), I don't have the option? I simply have Quick Match or Custom Match, nothing about Rank. I checked on the Networks Stats board and it says I've only played 2 games, and apparently I'm Rank 1, but I've played way more than that, so I'm assuming the others were unranked?I'm so confused. Can someone please help me out? I'm on PS3 by the way

Try going into story mode then going to phone > Multiplayer > Ranked > Game mode.

I simply don't have that option. I go phone > Multiplayer > Game > Deathmatch (or whatever) > Quick Match / Custom Match. I've gone up and down the options but none of them offer me ranked or unranked.

There should be a ranked option right when you go into multiplayer, unless PS3 is different.
